| Abstract Scope |
Porous scaffolds with layered structures at varying length scales are frequently found in nature and allow biological materials to meet the mechanical and functional requirements of their environment. This differs from human-engineered structures that employ a variety of materials to meet specific functions. We present methods for replicating natural structures across multiple length scales, from the macroscale to the nanoscale, to manufacture hierarchical materials from simple constituents. We employ freeze casting to template a ceramic scaffold through the growth of ice crystals while applying an ultrasound field as a tunable mask to create periodic structures within the scaffold. This manufacturing method is capable of fabricating materials for a variety of applications such as filtration, biomedical functional materials, and structural materials. |
